Formal Analysis is a method in which one looks at both the visual and physical aspects in different works of art. When dealing with formal analysis you are looking at the work to see what the artist is trying to say visually. When looking at the work of art, you are exploring the visual effect of work of art. Some components when dealing with formal analysis are: color, line, space and mass, and scale. With color, the viewer has to first distinguish the different ranges of color such as primary (red, blue, yellow) or secondary colors (green, purple, orange). The viewer also has to determine whether the artist has used warm colors or cool colors in the art. One has to look at the saturation of the art, whether the art is of high saturation (easy to recognize) or low saturation (hard to recognize). A term used by art experts is called value which is whether the relative of light is more white or black. With line, a viewer first has to see if the art is two dimensional or three dimensional. With two dimensional works of art, artists use linearity which is how the art piece really shows line and linear contours. Artists also use painterliness which is  how the artist uses light and dark in the art piece. A viewer also needs to see whether or not the line(s) the artist uses in the work of art is strong and continuous or broken up into small hatches pieces. With space and mass, space mainly refers to the three dimensional works of art. Mass is the weight or the volume of the art piece. With scale, the viewer has to relate the size of specific figures. In two-dimensional works of art, scales are used to help stress the importance of a person or an object. All these components combined together used by the artist is called composition.
